Is it April 1st? How stupid. This is the nail in the coffin for Twitter after Threads was launched. Is he trying to kill it off or something? It's the most unappealingly negative name and logo Ive even seen.
Got a tip for us?

Twitter Rebranded as 'X'

Does this mean that the name Twitter, and the related URL, will be available for someone else to use?
“I’m 𝕏-ting” maybe.
There will likely be a lot of 𝕏-pressions, 𝕏-positions, and 𝕏-pletives.

The new logo is terrible on so many levels.
No, unless he gives up the TM and the domain.
The iPhone X isn’t that old.

another day, another braindead idea from elon the fool
What a utterly stupid mistake to make. The bird, the word Twitter and the describing of the messages as 'tweet's' id perfect for the platform because that is what birds do when they talk to one another, they 'tweet'. Whilst it may not be the correct word to how birds do actually talk to one another, it is something we are taught as when young children that birds 'tweet' when talking to one another. Some call it 'bird song' but I digress. When referring to communications on the platform, using the wording 'did you see that tweet from so n so'? or words to that affect has become so synonymous with todays speech that it is automatically recognizable as to what a person is referring to.
Now Musk has done all away with that. Why? so he can make it is OWN company now and do away with all wording to how it used to be because he does not want the company he took over to have anything associated with the original owners. What are people going to say now? 'did you see the X yesterday?' because you can no longer call it a tweet anymore. So it will be interesting to see who comes up with the first usable wording of what the messages will become, from tweet to ???.

So Twitter is now X-rated like a pornographic movie? Gotcha!
Could it be that Musk is the pretend star of said banned movie?

As long as you're not X'ing with your ex
Was wondering about this myself, let’s bring it back!!
This is just the beginning. Musk is poised with Starlink to take a huge chunk of the global telecom market. The all-in-one app is just the beginning.
Think big!

The iPhone ten, so he’s actually changing the name to ten, make all the implications you can 😳☺️
Google to Alphabet, don’t forget about that one.
A rebrand of this size also suggests a significant change in functionality. We will see whether that is forthcoming.
Unless of course, app update gets rejected, which may happen. (Phil Schiller runs the App Store, and he may have a final say ultimately. And based on how he felt when he closed his account with company formally known as Twitter, I think he might order his review team to reject the app)

For me, that's the Onyx logo: https://www.titanium-software.fr/fr/onyx.html
Just let it die already. He fired the majority of the employees, who’s going to code this “super app”? Plus he’s made it so toxic that I killed my account with no intention of ever returning, no matter who’s in charge.
